9. VICTORY MUSIC

Victory Music is the name. Winning is the game.

Victory Music is a charming, incredibly willing and spectacular-looking five-year-old mare. This athletic horse is a real energy bundle. With the right guidance, she can build on that power and eagerness to become a great competition horse. Victory Music is a mare with a sporty, well-muscled and wiry frame and even though she’s light-footed by nature, she has a very dynamic and powerful action – all the components of a top performance horse. Victory Music regularly turns heads with her superb jumping technique and excellent foreleg action, coupled with her very willing and unruffled responses to the rider’s aids.

This horse’s pedigree is also “music to the ears”. A combination of Vigo d’Arsouilles x Emerald van’t Ruytershof and Clinton bloodlines gives these first-generation progeny the perfect genetic make-up to reach the top echelons of the sport. Vigo d’Arsouilles unites the performance genes of Nabab de Reve and Fleuri de Manoir. This impressive stallion won gold at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington with Philippe Le Jeune, represented Belgium in numerous championships and Nations Cups and was regularly placed in some of the world’s most challenging classes. He’s undoubtedly one of the world’s best sires and currently second from the top in the HorseTelex ranking. The dam Elle van’t Ameldonk Z was also a sport horse that was placed in the six-year-olds final at the FEI World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in Lanaken. Emerald van’t Ruytershof, the damsire, is one of the world’s most successful jumping stallions. Sired by Diamant de Semilly out of a Carthago dam, he competed at Olympic Games and won five-star and Nations Cup classes. Basically, he won everything there was to win. Now his offspring are jumping some of the most challenging courses in the world. Clinton was an international show jumping phenomenon as Dirk Demeersman’s grand prix horse. He also competed at the Athens Olympics in 2004. After retiring from the sport, the Corrado I son went on to make his mark in the world of breeding.

Five-year-old Victory Music has been carefully brought on and she already has plenty of competition experience. She is a serial winner of young horse classes and completed some sensational clear rounds in the five-year-olds competition at the Belgian Young Horse Championships. Her jumping talent and positive attitude helped her to qualify for the championship final, where she proved herself a worthy rival to the best of the best.

Victory Music was recently placed in five-year-olds final at the WBFSH Studbooks Jumping Global Champions Trophy in Valkenswaaard. Now she’s ready to tackle bigger courses and advance up the career ladder.

Victory music guaranteed.
